transport position.
Using the ground wheel
The wheel which the machine uses for power transmission, the ground wheel, is positioned as shown in Fig.
5 for certain vehicle transport movements. Retract the wheel and remove the transport support from the
container seam. Turn wheel as in figure 15.
Tow bar alternatives and bar installation
Tume JC machines are supplied as standard with a common lower side bar, with which the machine can be
towed from a tractor tow-hook or agricultural towing device. Standard delivery also includes a tow-triangle,
see Fig. 6. A tow-triangle is attached to a 3-point lifting device on the tractor (category 2). A tow-bar is usually
packed to the back of the machine at the original manufacturer. Smaller parts are packed in containers.
Alternatively, an adjustable multi-function shaft may be selected for the machine, which can be used either
as an ordinary bottom-mounted side shaft, such as with the Tume CultiPack cultivator. A tow-triangle is not
provided with the multi-function shaft.
Upper support for the seed drill tow-bar is provided either by a mechanical push-bar (provided as standard)
or by a hydraulic push-bar (optional). The hydraulic push-bar allows the front part of the machine to be lifted
up, regardless of whether the tow-bar is connected to the pull-hook of a tractor, agricultural towing device or
optional roller.
The bottom side tow-bar with tow-triangle is assembled according to Fig. 6. Fig. 7 shows the tow-bar
connection to the machine, when upper support is provided by a mechanical push-bar and the machine is
connected to a tractor tow-hook or tow-triangle. Fig. 8 shows an assembly with a hydraulic push-bar. Here,
the machine is connected to wheel packer.
Note the position of the shaft pin in the upper and lower
shaft positions.
A multi-function tow-bar concept is shown in Fig. 9. Installation with mechanical push-bar is depicted in figure
10. The installation for the hydraulic push-bar is shown in Fig. 11.
